A thoughtful morning...

As I sit here with my sweet baby today a song came across my mind from years ago. It meant something to me then, but now it holds such different meaning. It really made me think about my life and how I am living it. Do I do enough to let the people I love KNOW that I love them? Do I do enough for ME to keep my faith strong? What will people think when I am gone? I want to be the person who makes it known to all how I feel about my family, faith, and life. This song has again brought light to my eyes in seeing what I need to change in my life. It's funny how certain things put us into perspective. Here I go... striving once again to be a better wife, mother, daughter, aunt, sister, friend... a better ME.

When all is said and done
As the season slips away
When I've taken steps beyond my sight
Will I find my strength in greater light
Will my courage grow with every passing day
and will my faith be constant as the setting sun
When all is said and done

When all is said and done
and the years have turned to gold
Will my life become a legacy
of the things that matter most to me
Will the fire of faith grow bright inside me
and will I want to be the person I've become
when all is said and done

When all is said and done
When my eyes can finally see
Will i glory in the sweet release
and will mercy fill my soul with peace
Will i kneel and wonder at the Savior's feet
Will I hear Him say, 'Well done'
when He sees who I've become
Will I live with Him
when all is said and done.

Alright, so I'm a horrible commenter. You know this already. But I love you! And I love this song...still makes me cry when I hear it. And I love the memories that go along with it!

Thanks for posting this. It gave me a good reminder of what I need to get back on track doing.. I've been a slacker as of late, and tonight is the perfect night to reboost myself! Love you :)
